In his surprise speech to the crowd, Harper thanked Ford’s mother, Diane, for “giving us this great Conservative political dynasty.”
In 2011 it was a pretty successful dynasty. Ford Sr., Rob Ford and Doug Ford. Please note again for your reference this was in 2011 prior to Rob Ford's significant drug and alcohol issues. Mr. Ford is still a member of council and I would suspect will be a member of council as long as Mr. Ford chooses to run for election. You and I may not agree with all of his policies but most people will say that he does act vigorously on behalf of his constituents. This is more than I can say for a lot of Toronto city council. Far too many of them are a waste of a chair at the table.
